Nice to see this masterpiece of Moog pop-psych-meets-musique concrète being mentioned elsewhere.
Electronic pioneer, Bruce Haack, who was piano prodigy and an occasional writer of music for TV commercials and
even worked with Def Jam's Russell Simmons, put out this psychedelic anti war/Jesus vs Satan space opera
at a time when pop-occult electronic music was a thing (re: Mort Garson, White Noise a.o.).
When you think about today's whack-jobs screaming about how to keep our kid's minds locked up,
it's kind of a surprise to know that even after this LP was released - actually because of the release of this album -
Haack was offered jobs to do musical realizations of stories for children thru the Scholastic Books company.
YouTube excerpt from Haack on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood:

There's more to see, but people put beats to the excerpts and re-uploaded them.
